I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Holy shite! What a waste of time. Cars are for driving not making so shiny you'll cry every time a speck of dust lands on it.....
I bet he'll win concours competitions. Only question is this- is that a good thing

We have some polish lads who can do that for 6 quid while your doing your shopping at our local tescos 
I was thinking a right good dirty bird would sort that lad out...... only problem being he would probably get his tackle out and start polishing it
himself

We quite get customers like that, one spent 30 mins examining 1 wing looking for imperfections, he found 2 which I couldn't even see. I put him
in reception with a cup of tea while the car sat in the valet bay untouched for an hour. Got him back to check, he said 'Much better, you should
check the cars more thoroughly in future' and drove off.
Its OCD, more common than you think
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

It is a bit sad, but if someone wants to spend that much time and effort polishing a car then let them be.
I spend far too long cleaning my cars, clay bar, 3 step and jetseal, and the shine lasts for a good couple of months for 2 days work. Did my MR2 a
couple of times and everytime it attracted some good compliments, and people asking how i got it that shiney. Also done the GTS a few times now, and
its due for another going over.
The new cars getting the treatment this weekend.
Nothing worse than a filthy car!

Cheezuz!
I must say the term "obsessive compulsive" springs to mind but as he's a concourse kind of person it's more like a sport.
If he had a show jumping horse then he'd probably lavish a lot of attention on it. If he's going in for auto salon events and stuff
he's just "fettling his mount"
It would be ultra sad if he was doing this to his daily driver. If he was then he'd probably poo himself every time he drove past a puddle!
But seven thousand quid for wax! That's thoroughly over the top.
